I think you've got my two favorites pegged there; my most recent MOC (which
admittedly is a boat, not a castle - but it's *for* castle!) would never
have happened without many 7184's.
For traditional castles Guarded Inn beats other current sets hands down,
even if you aren't a castle wall fan (I'm not). It's just cheaper per
piece, with better pieces.
The Sith Infiltrator is still way up there on my list, although I've got
enough of 'em to drown a cat, so they're not as high on the list as they
used to be.
The Harry Potter stuff is *good* for tan, especially arches, but is a little
pricey for the value; I don't think I'll be getting *too* many of these
unless I can get a good price on 'em. But they're worth getting 1 copy for
the parts even at retail, IMHO.
thanks,
James
